Ukraine has not commented on the alleged attack, but Russia’s defense ministry said S-200 missiles were fired at the bridge, but were shot down and caused no damage.
Moscow vowed revenge Saturday for what it branded a “terrorist attack” after officials said Ukraine targeted a bridge linking Russia to the annexed Crimean peninsula with a missile strike overnight.
It’s at least the third attack in recent months on the 12-mile Kerch bridge, which Russian President Vladimir Putin opened to fanfare in 2018. The vital span enables all rail and road travel between Russia and Crimea and acts as a key resupply route for Moscow’s forces occupying areas in southern Ukraine.
The Security Service of Ukraine also posted video showing a drone strike destroying a “rare” Russian Terminator 2 tank-supporting vehicle, although the agency did not specify where or when the footage was taken. sharing the clip. “This rare copy of the enemy’s defense was burned by just a few hits of kamikaze drones. They tried to pull out the downed ‘Terminator’ with a T-80 tank, but it was also hit!”
